Thanks for the insight from a "make fan" Simeon. Telling people you
don't actually need control structures that often - even in make - is
a good thing IMHO.

I haven't really read the whole thread (I have been to ApacheCon and
couldn't read my mailbox from there). I'm afraid it has been a little
misleading. Ant has "official" scripting support through <script> and
BSF and this won't change.

The only question I remember that hasn't been decided on before in one
way or the other was "Do we allow tasks to be defined by scripts". My
personal opinion to this is: yes, why not. All it takes is adding
another optinal task.

I wouldn't want to make BSF or any specific scripting language a
requirement for using Ant though.
